<u>Answer:</u>

<em>An oxygen is not attached to the central carbon atom in an amino acid.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To understand this, we need to look at the <em>simple molecular structure of amino acids.</em> The basic structure of amino acid consists of an amine (NH_2), a carboxyl (COOH) functional groups.

There is also a R-Group for a particular amino acid on the side chain of it. Although oxygen is one of the key constituents of amino acid it is not directly attached with the <em>central carbon atom in an amino acid.</em>
